The so-called “Slide-Canceling” is a movement technique in Call of Duty: Warzone, which is actually a kind of glitch. Nevertheless, the trick can be found in many CoD titles and continues to be controversially discussed. A senior developer of Warzone sees Slide-Canceling as a thorn in his side and is apparently seeking confirmation from the community to finally fix the glitch.
What is the problem with Slide-Canceling? The movement trick allows you to exploit a small error in Call of Duty: Warzone to skip the cooldown of the tactical sprint.
As a result, you can move faster and keep your hit zones in motion, making deadly headshots significantly more difficult for you. Here is a guide to Slide-Canceling.
The trick has been in the game since the release of CoD MW 2019 and is also part of Warzone. Through the professional players, Slide-Cancel has made its way into regular matches and is now a normal part of the gameplay.
However, it is actually a glitch, and the Senior Creative Director at Warzone developer Raven Software, Ted Timmins, has now commented on it. He would like to fix the trick.
Developer Seeks “Excuse” to Fix Slide Glitch
What did the developer say about it? The fan account “ModernWarzone” asked on Twitter in a survey: “Do you want Slide-Canceling in MW2 and Warzone 2?”:
Of nearly 35,000 participants, 59.4% were in favor of retaining Slide-Canceling.
But even before the end of the voting, the developer Ted Timmins spoke up. He wrote in several replies:
I have been looking for an excuse to fix Slide-Canceling for over a year. […] I have absolutely nothing against skill gaps, but I do have something against accessibility issues. Gaming and control schemes should be accessible to everyone. […] if the community wants us to remove the Slice-Cancel, we will internally discuss the pros and cons and bring a change with a future update.

The survey by Modern Warzone shows how divided the community is on the issue of Slide-Canceling. Therefore, we also want to know from you what you think of the little trick:
The trick has been around for a while in Call of Duty and is particularly a strong gameplay element when combined with the tactical sprint.
With a possible return of the tactical sprint in the new Modern Warfare 2, Slide-Canceling would again be on the agenda.
Whether Slide-Canceling will disappear from Warzone is currently uncertain. The survey by ModernWarzone showed a slight lead for the trick in the end.
We would also be very interested in how you feel about the “glitch.” Feel free to leave us a comment on the topic. If you want to read more about gameplay tricks in Warzone, then check here: An underrated item in CoD Warzone saves you from annoying zipline campers
